Neural DSP Nano Cortex

[Foxmeister]

Can we talk about USB-C power? Like how does a device that requires 9v 600ma DC run on 5v USB supply? Does it consume less power in this mode? Can I run it off of my rechargeable power brick? Lots of jesting, yes. Thank you.

9V at 600mA is 5.4W

Non-PD USB-C can supply up to 3A at 5V, or 15W, which is plenty.

PD USB-C can go much higher:

There's also USB PD 3.1 now which can provide up to 240W.

Works surprisingly well!

Where can one find the actual Nano Cortex specs ? ie: simple stuff like the Analog Input Dynamic Range ? etc...

That's all there is in the General Information section that he's linked you to.

What its weird is the maximum input gain mismatch between the Nano and the Quad. The Nano states +10dBu, while the Quad (I didn´t find the info in its manual, but I heard it from MirrorProfiles, so I completely trust it) is +15 dBu.

That could lead to different behaviour/accuracy of the captures in both devices if the input gain is not compensated internally.

It would be great if someone could confirm those numbers.

Well, obviously +60dB is NOT the maximum input gain. It could maybe be the maximum preamp gain (hence it´s in dB, instead of dBu).

Aparta from calling "max input gain" the info of the XLR outputs 1/2.

Not good tech info in the manual. It´s like made by a cheap chinese manufacturer.

$450

3 amps, 12 cabs, 3 reverb voices, and a gate

For another $100 you can get the Nano.
Fair apples to apples imo.

Wow - so that's the new model. I guess a firmware upgrade won't make mine look like that one.

That is 6 amps now for the V2.

For another $100 you can get the Nano.

And for another 100 you can get a Stomp.

Fair apples to apples imo.

How so?

Sometimes i wish that comments like that would be more thoughtful. I get it… but there ain’t no noobs here. I chose ACS1 any day over a stomp because I have reasons that you understand. This ain’t ToP. I mean this all in a friendly way.

How so?

Agreed… it’s two completely different products imo

I was really only bringing up the Stomp because we were in apples vs. spaceship territory already anyway.

 

[Achilles]

How so?

It's box.
It has knobs and footswitches.
It has amps and IRs.
It has a noise gate.
It's 100% digital.
It's in the same basic price bracket.

Stomps sucks in comparison with the Nano cause no Bluetooth and no ability to Capture.

Oh, are we really about to do a suckiness comparison between the two?

 

[Achilles]

No cause the Nano don't suck to me cause it has everything I personally need.
Maybe it sucks for you and that's cool. We all can't be happy all the time!

Don’t make people type paragraphs, lol. All gear sucks, and all gear is awesome at the same time. It’s Schrodinger’s crippled device pedalboard.
